Renewable Resources

What is the main advantage of using renewable resources?

• They are always available and can be replenished naturally.

• They are cheaper than fossil fuels.

• They produce more energy than non-renewable resources.

• They require less maintenance than traditional energy sources.

How can individuals contribute to the use of renewable resources?

• By using energy-efficient appliances and supporting renewable energy initiatives.

• By increasing fossil fuel consumption.

• By ignoring energy-efficient technologies.

• By relying solely on non-renewable energy sources.

How does wind energy work?

• Wind energy is generated by using wind turbines that convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electricity.

• Wind energy is produced by solar panels that capture sunlight and convert it into wind.

• Wind energy is harnessed through the use of water turbines that generate electricity from flowing water.

• Wind energy is created by burning fossil fuels to produce steam that drives turbines.

What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?

• Renewable resources can be replenished naturally, while non-renewable resources are finite and will eventually run out.

• Renewable resources are always more expensive than non-renewable resources.

• Non-renewable resources can be replenished naturally, while renewable resources are finite.

• Renewable resources are found only in specific regions, while non-renewable resources are available everywhere.

Name three types of renewable resources.

• Geothermal energy, fossil fuels, and nuclear power.

• Solar energy, wind energy, and hydroelectric power.

• Natural gas, coal, and oil.

• Biomass, natural gas, and coal.

What is geothermal energy?

• The energy derived from solar radiation.

• The heat that comes from the sub-surface of the earth, used for heating and electricity generation.

• The energy produced by wind turbines.

• The energy generated from the combustion of fossil fuels.

Why are trees considered a renewable resource?

• Because they can be replanted and regrown.

• Because they grow faster than they are cut down.

• Because they absorb carbon dioxide.

• Because they provide shade and shelter.

What is the environmental impact of using fossil fuels compared to renewable resources?

• Fossil fuels create pollution and greenhouse gases, while renewable resources have a lower environmental impact.

• Fossil fuels are more efficient and produce less waste than renewable resources.

• Renewable resources are more expensive and less reliable than fossil fuels.

• Fossil fuels have no significant environmental impact compared to renewable resources.

What is biomass?

• A type of fossil fuel derived from ancient plants

• Organic material from plants and animals used as a renewable energy source

• A synthetic material used in construction

• A form of nuclear energy

What is a renewable resource?

• A resource that cannot be replenished once used up.

• A natural resource that can be replenished naturally over time, such as solar energy, wind energy, and water.

• A resource that is only available in limited quantities.

• A resource that is man-made and not found in nature.
